Well, you've read the notes, the notes were booked on the Orpheum Circuit, and now it is time for you to post until the Orpheum Circuit cows come home.

You know, going to the outdoor theeder on a day that has reached 90 or above is actually a good thing. At least it was last night. It's comfortable outdoors at 8 pm - or 7 pm if you're going early to picnic - in that location, anyway. Mosquitoes weren't even bad last night, which is a blessing. I gave my neck area a little spritz of Deep Woods OFF at the car, and had a couple of those little coiled "bracelets" to put on later, and I wasn't even aware of any.

And though this was my first ever GREASE (hard to believe, I know), it was probably as good as I'd hope to see it. No stupid additions or changes, just the original book and score done really well and moving at a great pace. Most enjoyable.

Last night I watched my friend Jim Fall's movie Trick in a restored print that's been making festival rounds and currently playing on Amazon Prime. My friends Steve Hayes and Kevin Chamberlin have a nice scene, and I very much like the leads Christian Campbell and JP Pitoc. I remember seeing it on its opening night in July 1999 and several times on VHS and DVD. I'm hoping that this current 25th anniversary round of showings will lead to a new DVD with extras.

My Kiwi neighbor had a stroke while visiting their timeshare on Pender Island. He’s in the hospital in Victoria now, wife by his side, the hope is he can recover movement enough to get into a wheelchair. Recovering speech has slightly better odds. A real shame; his wife has been so lovely to us from the day we moved here.

Interesting video. Not sure I agree with all the choices, but I liked what I saw of Henrick.

I liked Henrich also, but otherwise the leads all seemed (to me) to be overacting their little hearts out...putting way too much into it. ::)

Verizon blues:

Last month, I began getting daily texts from Verizon telling me I was accruing 1GB overages on my plan on a daily basis, and each new GB would cost me $15.

Alarmed, I went online and chatted with someone who assured me that nothing untoward was happening.  He actually sent me a printout of my upcoming bill showing me that it was virtually the same as all the other monthly bills I had been getting the past 12 years.

The text messages continued to arrive, but I had believed the Verizon rep who had assured me there were no added charges.

AND THEN THE BILL ARRIVED AND IT WAS MORE THAN DOUBLE WHAT IT HAD EVER BEEN.

I have to say that I have zero idea why this happened.  I paid the bill, and I deleted many apps off my iPhone, including things I've been using for years.

Today, I got another text:  I had only 1% of my allowable GBs left for the month which would end in 23 days.

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

I went online, had a hissy fit with an AI-generated chat-bot, and finally got connected to a real person.  His name?  He goes by "Crimson Kurt" !!!

Crimson Kurt, however, was helpful.  He could not see what caused my overages, but he assured me that many apps were becoming more GB-intensive.  He suggested I upgrade to the Unlimited Welcome plan which, as it turns out, will result in lower bills than I am used to paying.

He transferred me to an account rep.  While on hold, the AI-generated chat-bot interceded and began demanding my pin number which I had no idea I had (I do, however, and it's my usual suspect of pin numbers I use).  Suddenly, a human voice came online.  It was Angelina, an account rep, and the rest was smooth sailing.

But I was a hair's breadth from driving to a Verizon store and raising Cain.

Rodzinski I told Craig about the interesting place you live.  I had it wrong though as I thought you are on the border of Vancouver. I now stand corrected.

Thank you for the vibes. You weren’t really wrong. We’re on the border of suburban Vancouver. The Canadian town through which we must go to enter here is where people catch ferries to Vancouver Island. Yet from my window I can see Mt Baker across the bay.

I've been looking at a map and trying to see the direction you follow to Blain when you cross back into the US. 

I can see Blaine across the water. And Whistler and other B.C. ski mountains in another direction. I’m overlooking Boundary Bay. Other folks here see the San Juan Islands.

I can't remember.  How far from the water is your house?

And then we all left to our respective homes and didn't play a fourth game. ::)

So, I have an Android phone (Samsung Galaxy A51 LTE) and in it, I was able to add a 400GB (yes, 400GB!) MicroSD memory card.

Today, as I was downloading a YouTube video, I got the message that the card was full and it would download to the internal memory!

I filled up 400 gigabytes in just two and a half years...I just checked and I got the phone in September 2021!

I'll admit that I haven't been moving anything from the MicroSD card to my desktop computer, but now I'm going to have to.
Title: Re: BOOKING THE GAZELLE ON THE ORPHEUM CIRCUIT
Post by: George on August 03, 2024, 12:12:24 AM
I'll move most of it off (mostly large video files), but I just need to figure out what I want to keep on it.

The internal memory is 128GB, and 101GB of that is used up, so I still have room there, but it shouldn't take too long to move things from the memory card since I have a USB3 card reader.

So tomorrow morning, I'm going to meet Marko, pug's husband, at a local U-Haul rental place and rent a moving truck so that we can empty the (now former :'( ) OlyTheater performance space at the Capital Mall.

We rented a storage space in Lacey and hopefully we'll be able to find a new performance space sooner rather than later...although, it probably won't happen very soonly.
Title: Re: BOOKING THE GAZELLE ON THE ORPHEUM CIRCUIT
Post by: George on August 03, 2024, 12:28:51 AM
We've rented spaces for individual shows before, so we can do it again.

People have been putting feelers out, and we've gotten a couple of nibbles (if only for new temporary spaces), so we'll see how it all pans out.

I've never been to one, and I don't know if I even remember very many people from back then, so we'll see how it goes.

I'm sure that my introvertedness will keep me pretty quiet, unless people approach me, then I can break the silence.

I'm not shy, nor am I really uncomfortable in large crowds.  I'm just not one to initiate conversations with strangers...or people that I haven't seen in 40 years.

It's being held at a local venue, which is good since I went to a local high school.

They're going to have both meat and vegetarian lasagna options, as well as a taco bar, so everyone should be able to get what their food restrictions require. :)
